    Will this battery be sufficient?

    I want to use a VMAX battery deep cycle for both cranking and house ... Battery Specs: CCA 660, MCA 880, RC 220M. Engine requires: CCA 512, MCA 675, RC 182M. Accessories include..FF, CP, lights, bilge pumps, vhf, etc. Will this battery work for me? .. or do I need a separate cranking battery? .. (space is a problem) ...Thanks.

    Probably, but performance depends a lot on how you fish.
    If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity,
    nothing else matters.​

    What motor are you cranking? It's way insufficient for an optimax.

    What are the specs on your current battery. Was it working for you and just went bad, or are you upgrading because the current battery is insufficient. By specs, the new one will work with the outboard, but depending on electronic usage may not work with the accessories too.

    I'm guessing that your engine is a Yamaha with that cca requirement of 512. At 660 ccas, which is 148 above minimum, you should have enough leeway for your accessories as well. An RC at 220 is excellent. You should be fine and are fortunate that you can get away with an inexpensive wet deep cycle battery.

    If that sucker retails at 300 you best go purchase a northstar or x2 power agm which will be 2100 marine cranking amps and 220 RC. Way more battery that the one posted. That boat will run for 3 weeks without charge if you don’t have any graphs (might be exaggerating)
